金得硏의 隱居와 <止水亭歌> 創作의 意味

Abstract

Research on Kim Deuk-yeon's literature has been focused on Sijo. The issues can be summarized as the reason for the seclusion, the perception of entering a government office or politics, and the meaning of the seclusion space. This is an essential issue in that it is related to the content and creative purpose of <Jisoojeong-ga>. <Jisoojeong-ga> has a structure in which a family burial ground is a propitious site for a grave of divination based on topography and the Jisoojeong garden as a space for the practice of ideology and Confucian orthodoxy are combined through the 'the village entrance pond'. The family burial ground promotes family prosperity and solidarity, and the Jisoojeong garden is intended to emphasize that his family is the subject and center of ideological practice and Confucian orthodoxy succession. The 'village entrance pond' shares two meanings: the necessity of divination based on topography and the symbol of Neo-Confucian providence. Because of this, it acts as a link between the two disparate things and shifts the focus of the narrative from the geography of feng shui to the discipline of Neo-Confucianism. In other words, <Jisujeongga> was created to unite a family and allow descendants to continue the family tradition of Confucian orthodoxy succession and the practice of Righteousness of taking and leaving Government Posts through the family burial ground and Jisoojeong garden. On the other hand, existing discussions believe that Kim Deuk-yeon was hiding because of his hatred of factional politics or indifference to politics and public affairs. However, since 1615, he created some works expressing the regret that he could not express his will due to the absurd reality. Moreover he revealed that his retreat was based on Joo-hee's Righteousness of taking and leaving Government Posts. This means that he recognized the brutal political actions of the Great North clique(大北派) and the abolition of the royal family as a troublous time, therefore decided to retreat based on Righteousness of taking and leaving Government Posts. Moreover the age of 60 must have been an important reason he had to give up his dream.
